High-Speed Friction Welding
When it comes to joining individual components quickly, reliably and economically to form an assembly, friction welding is unbeatable.
Numerous technical advantages argue in favor of using this innovative joining technology: uncompromising weldability of high-tech materials, numerous material combination options, maximum joining quality and fast cycle times.

 | | The Friction Welding Process |  |
The Friction Welding process:
- Initial Situation:
Both workpieces are firmly clamped into the machine; one workpiece is rotated.
- Heat Build-up:
The two workpieces are pressed together with a defined force; the rotation and contact force generate friction which causes the weld surfaces to heat up.
- Welding:
At a defined moment in time, the rotating workpiece is braked and the contact pressure is increased. This creates the friction-welded joint.

The new Friction Welders from KUKA:Even faster. Even more precise. Even more productive.
Four decades ago, KUKA established friction welding as an industrial joining process. Numerous KUKA innovations, such as short-cycle welding and defined-angle friction welding, have shaped this field ever
since. Now, the generation of machines is opening up a whole new dimension. A multitude of technical innovations and superior control technology have resulted in absolute process and performance
perfection.
The latest range is setting new standards not only in terms of precision, dynamics and process control, but also with its unrivaled price / performance ratio. No matter which markets you are active in, which customers you serve and which tasks you are faced with, you will find no friction welders more productive or more readily configured to your requirements than those presented here. |
